Port Welshpool is an ideal destination for fishing

Be welcomed by the shimmering waters of this long-time fishing town. There’s salt in the air and a backing track of seagull cries.

Shallow waters lap gently against the sea wall at the edge of town, revealing vast pebbly flats at low tide. Facing a string of islands, Port Welshpool is protected by Bass Strait’s rougher swells, adding to the town’s laid-back vibe.

Things to see and do

  • Walk or fish along the historic Port Welshpool Long Jetty, the town’s centrepiece living up to its name as it stretches 800 metres through Corner Inlet
  • Breathe in the maritime air with a walk along the Esplanade, lined with Norfolk Pines and views towards Wilsons Promontory
  • Drop a line from the serene jetties where the run-in tides bring in an abundance of flathead, whiting and squid
  • Shallow protected waters make this a popular swimming spot for families
